I met Paul in 2002 at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Over the years we went to many music festivals together, sharing the work of pitching tents, the fun of listening to music, meals in the volunteer and performer's tents, laughter over life's absurdities, stories of our pasts, and plans for our future. I could talk to Paul about anything, and sometimes his voice of reason and kindness of heart were the combination I most needed. No matter where he was, I always felt his love and respect. I always thought I'd see him again soon. But I will always carry him with me in my heart, and in my memories. My condolences to his family members and other loved ones. He was a unique soul, and we were all so lucky to have him in our lives, now, and always.

I met Paul at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in NY many, many years ago. He volunteered, for years, on the trash/recycling crew at both Grey Fox, and later, at the Rhythm and Roots Festival in RI. He was part of a wonderful group who would get up early and make the amphitheater shine. I can visualize him finding some random left-behind object (like a single shoe) and giving me a quizzical, "how did someone lose this" look, and the joy in the often downright absurdity of those shared experiences.
I found Paul to be a sweet, gentle, loving, person with a ready smile and a kind word. When he moved back to Florida to take care of his Mom, he spoke about the gift of being able to be her caregiver. It changed the course of his life, but he still managed to travel and, always, maintain his sense of humor. I will miss thinking of him out there in the world, somewhere, practicing his Spanish, dancing, and making the world a better place just by being in it.

I just want to extend my deepest sympathy to Paul's family. Was so saddened to hear of his passing. Paul and I were friends since our days at Maher Terminals and always stayed in touch.
He was a kind, gentle and special person. Will miss seeing him and our long distance conversations. I remember how excited he was when he embarked on his many travels. Glad he was able to see the world. RIP Paul. You will be remembered.

I knew Paul since 2002; we would go to the community “gender-free” contra dance held monthly at.the LGBT Center. He drove us to the dance camp held in Western MA, stopping at the Sundance lodge along the way, which hiking/outdoor club he had a leadership position in over many years. Paul was kind; warm, smart, ever curious, hard-working and accomplished. I have the recipe for a vegetable soup he used to make at his winter parties. May he Rest In Peace, and may his family and friends be comforted.

I would like to express my deepest and most sincere condolences. Paul was a dear friend, and he will be greatly missed. I met him when he worked with my husband, Ken, at Maher Terminals. After Ken retired, Paul continued to keep in touch with us via telephone calls, and he visited us at our home in North Carolina. Ken passed away in May, 2010, and Paul came to visit me after that, spending time with me reminiscing and helping me with a few projects around the house. I truly loved him as a special friend, and our last conversation was on Facebook on October 6. He was concerned about his family members, and I assured him that all of you, as well as he, were on my prayer list. Again, I send my condolences and pray for his mom and the sister who was in the accident, and all of you. Gloria Morgan
